One Week Today!

Tick Tock

How is it possible that time can go by so slowly but fly by at the same time?  Our head pastor, Godfrey Hubert came by to visit a few days ago and he asked me if time seemed to be ticking by.  The best way I could explain it was that the days went by slowly, but the weeks went by quickly.  Each day is long, but at the same time it is hard to believe it has been a week since the babies were born.

More "Ups" Today

For the most part, today was a much better day than yesterday.  Kinley only had a few As and Bs and they all resolved on their own rather quickly.  The best news we received today was that both babies brain ultrasounds came back normal.  Praise God! We were so relieved to hear this bit of positive news.  Kinley also had her heart ultrasound today and it still showed PDA (an open duct).  They will start the medication to help close it this evening and will repeat the ultrasound on Wednesday to see if it's working.  Hopefully, we will see a smaller duct that is starting to close.  Because of the medicate, she cannot begin any feeds and will continue to receive fluids and nutrition through her PICC line.  

Cooper had a pretty uneventful day today, which is always good.  They removed both lines from his belly button simply because they don't like to keep them in more than a week.  As of this moment, he did not have to have a PICC line or IV started because he is getting enough fluid and nutrition from the breast milk.  A little earlier this evening though, he had a little bit spit up in his feeding tube, so they are going to give his tummy a little rest from the breast milk and may need to start an IV or PICC line tonight in order to get him more fluids.  Hopefully, his digestive system just needs to rest and he will be better tomorrow.  

As of right now, we have no more news to report (which we'll take).  As always please keep us in your prayers!  Until next time...
